XC17S200AVO8I

Overview

The AMD XC17S200AVO8I is a one-time programmable (OTP) configuration PROM designed for configuring Xilinx Spartan-3 and Spartan-3E field-programmable gate arrays. This integrated circuit provides 2 megabits of storage capacity, organized as 256K x 8 bits. It operates within a standard voltage range and is housed in an 8-pin Small Outline Integrated Circuit (SOIC) package with a narrow body width. The device serves as a non-volatile memory solution to store the initial configuration data required for the FPGA to function upon power-up.

Feature Summary

• Provides non-volatile storage for FPGA configuration bitstreams
• Designed specifically for compatibility with Spartan-3 and Spartan-3E families
• Utilizes one-time programmable technology for permanent data retention

Applications

• Configuration of Xilinx Spartan-3 FPGAs
• Configuration of Xilinx Spartan-3E FPGAs
• Embedded system initialization circuits

Procurement Notes

Verify that the specific suffix 'VO8I' corresponds to the exact temperature grade and package variant required for your design. Confirm that the target FPGA family matches the supported devices listed in the official datasheet. Ensure programming equipment supports the specific interface requirements of this OTP PROM type before procurement.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a cost-effective, non-volatile configuration source is needed for Spartan-3 or Spartan-3E designs. Consider the one-time programmable nature, which prevents post-manufacturing modification of the configuration data. Evaluate the 8-pin SOIC footprint against available board space and ensure the programming infrastructure is compatible with the device's electrical specifications.

Part Context

This part belongs to AMD's (formerly Xilinx) line of configuration PROMs. These devices are essential for systems using Xilinx FPGAs that require persistent configuration storage without relying on external flash memory controllers. The XC17 series is widely used in embedded applications where simplicity and reliability of the boot process are critical.

Replacement Considerations

Check for direct cross-references from other manufacturers offering pin-compatible OTP PROMs with equivalent 2Mb density and 8-bit width. Verify that any substitute supports the specific SPI or parallel interface timing required by the Spartan-3/3E configuration mode.
